Teach Primary Reading Planet Review

Reading Planet really redefines our understanding of how children learn to read. It challenges our approach and encourages us to think how we teach phonics.

Foxborough Primary School, Slough

The teaching support that Reading Planet provides us is great. It has detailed instructions and helpful prompts to make sure we’re getting the most out of every guided reading session.

Higher Openshaw School, Manchester

Importantly, the scheme features modern day topics such as well-being and resilience, which we teach in other lessons

Penn Wood Primary and Nursery School, Slough

The books expose the children to different topics, and link with other books and subjects we’re already teaching

Beckstone Primary School, Cumbria

We would definitely recommend Reading Planets to other schools. The books are of extremely high quality, beautifully illustrated and really match age related reading expectations.

A parent's perspective on Reading Planet Online

'It makes it easy to encourage him to read with me'

St Barnabas CE First & Middle School, Pershore

In Year 2, we have enjoyed using the Reading Planet books for shared group reading with a wide ability range - using the online books has been fantastic for whole class sessions because even the less able can participate and repeat after the audio.

Ancaster C of E Primary School, Grantham

We have pretty much cast aside all other reading schemes now as we assessed our other reading books and book bands against Reading Planet and found that the other schemes didn’t match up.

Griffin Park Primary School, Blackburn

The children have engaged with all the Reading Planet strands and the bookband levels are more in line, even in the non-fiction which is often an issue with other schemes.

Tranmoor Primary School, Doncaster

Our Phonics pass rate improved by 11% to 83% and we saw a 10% increase in the KS1 Reading SATs results, with 15% increase in greater depth.

Wilton CE Primary School, Wiltshire

We have now chosen Reading Planet to be our reading scheme going forward. The teachers prefer it and they feel that it has contributed to the improved reading SATs results

Penn Wood Primary School, Slough

We also like the Galaxy fiction and non-fiction and the new KS2 fiction titles - the quality of stories is excellent and the non-fiction supports our direction of travel with reading to support knowledge.

Downsway Primary School, Reading

The Teacher Guides have been helpful for the teaching assistants and we love the assessment sheets. They are great to use to show parents where there are still gaps or whether the children should be moved up a level.

Sacred Heart Primary School, Manchester

Find out what teachers, parents and children think of Reading Planet.

Walton-le-Dale Primary School, Preston

We have several book band schemes in school and without question, it is the Reading Planet books that the children look out for time and time again.
